[Vibrant General] zerostate:
Okay i think the vibrant is an insane device!

It totally deserves a lot more attention then some useless fruit phone which you have to hold a certain way. Now t mobile is great for service 3g and good phones :D Too bad there advertising is horrible. Okay logically thinking.. Why would you make a mts 3g a flagship device. Comparing the mts 3g to the evo the droid x the i phone 4. Its just a crappy phone. Yet in many stores they don't even bother trying to put the slightest effort into advertising the vibrant. Seriously the mts 3g is crap compared to this amazing piece of technology. Hell half of the staff in my area didn't even know they could start selling them.

Don't get me wrong i just wish t mobile could advertise it like any other company.

Anyone agree at all with what im saying :O?
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
Tmobile has always been bad at advertising. I work for them and that has always been my #1 complaint. But they did push up the launch date of the phone. Give it a week or two and they should have some commercials.

I did see a Galaxy S commercial, though it wasn't strictly T-mobile.
[Vibrant General] zerostate:
Lol yep, its kinda like they have the ability to become #1 with there new 3g speeds and this amazing phone but there just like... nah to much work.

if i had not told my friends none of them would have ever known this was even out.
[Vibrant General] Supermighty:
Yes it would have been nice to see some headlines "T-Mobile Vibrant sold out on launch day" like the Droid X had.
[Vibrant General] zerostate:
Lol not even that but just make it known ..

1 commercial would be fine
[Vibrant General] gTen:
A week or 2 when everyone else has the device?!? If I were T-Mobile..I'd have someone rate the Galaxy S phone in comparison to iphone and EVO and obviously beat both...then put a Giant Sign outside each store saying "The ULTIMATE phone is here, rated better then the EVO and the iphone 4...come inside for a free Demo"

I mean doing that shouldn't have cost much >.>...but by the looks of it all they did was make an obvious ticker site that no one even knew about and released it like any other phone..
[Vibrant General] bromat80:
I have only seen the commercial air one time on this phone and like the op said, the sales people at the store didn't even know if the had any let alone sell them.
[Vibrant General] ryan562:
lol. i picked up my phone late this afternoon. the salesperson was surprised that i even asked for the phone since he said his mytouch slides are selling like hotcakes.
[Vibrant General] gTen:
did you tell him his mytouch slides are like razrs in comparison to this phone? lol
[Vibrant General] gnunixguy:
My girlfriend was saying the same thing to the tmo rep. We were the only two in the store for the entire time I was getting my vibrant. No accessories at that location, but they daid only a few people actually bought the phone today.
[Vibrant General] TRF-Inferno:
The Vibrant is getting the same treatment as the Slide -- let it become available for sale earlier than its anticipated launch date, then advertise it when the device "officially" launches.

Sure T-Mobile is going to make the Slide their flagship Android device, the Vibrant technically did not exist when the Slide was announced, and the Nexus One isn't available in retail locations.

When the Vibrant is officially launched on the 21st, then it will become T-Mobile's flagship phone.
[Vibrant General] ryan562:
Haha he tried to convince me that the slide was just as smooth and snappy as the vibrant lol
[Vibrant General] TRF-Inferno:
He's actually right. Anemic hardware aside, as long as you're not running 3D games or complex applications, the Slide is surprisingly fast. I dare say its home screen transitions is even smoother than the Vibrant, with widgets and all.
[Vibrant General] ryan562:
true. the espresso theme seems to be buttery smooth on the slide.
[Vibrant General] gTen:
If they take till 21st to actually market it, that would already be semi late as AT&T will get theirs and maybe even sprint announce theirs....

But the vibrant should have faster if not as fast transitions between home screens..if this is not the case then it is an issue of Touchwiz vs Sense UI(if thats what I assume it is running..not sure) then the actual device...
[Vibrant General] TRF-Inferno:
The reason for the slow down is due to the way the phone allocates application data. Your phone has 512 MB NAND memory for the root file system, and the internal 16 GB SD card which is where the phone stores application data. The trick is to move the data to the NAND memory, which is apparently faster than the internal SD card. This momentarily solves the lag issue, but due to the limited space, it might prove to be a problem in the long run for those that installs a lot of apps.
[Vibrant General] gTen:
I wonder if it is possible to take the M$ approach and have the active app loaded in RAM and other data in ROM...so moment you swap apps it puts that app in RAM and the one before it in ROM...unless of course the data is over say 6mb (assuming the ROM is equivalent to a class 6 card) where it would keep the data in ROM all the time :/
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Anderen2:
Hi, I want to root my HTC Hero 2.1, ive found lots of tutorials on the net, but all are marked with (Sprint). Is it any difference between HTC Hero (Normal/Original) and the sprint version?

Thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Yes, big difference. If your hero had a chin, use the guide at www.villainrom.co.uk under gsm htc hero, and then under rooting 2.1
[Vibrant General] Hairybroness:
Can anyone tell me how to switch back to the touchwiz launcher? I installed ADW, set it to default and can't get back to Samsung's original. I want to go back to touchwiz and play with the samsung widgets...
[Vibrant General] DKYang:
Go to settings > manage applications > select adw > clear defaults
[Vibrant General] Supermighty:
I didn't see the Launcher the first time I was in Manage Apps because the Galaxy has a filter view that my old evo didn't have.

Go to settings > manage applications > menu button > filter > All > select adw > clear defaults

[EVO 4G General] herbthehammer:
I just noticed this at work while driving around today. I couldn't do process of elimination because I was busy. Here's the scenario: Running wardrive and mapping ap's while driving around. No problems. Decide I wanna listen to some music so I fire up pandora and put it in the background. I bring wardrive back to the screen I'm monitoring. The map isn't updating as I'm driving and no access points are showing up that are new. Hmm. Close out pandora and try again. After closing pandora, wardrive comes back to life. As soon as pandora starts up, wardrive stops. Closed pandora again. Wardrive comes back to life. Try running A Online Radio. It starts playing and wardrive stops. Wtf?

Anyone else experience behavior like this? Running latest stock rooted rom 1.47
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
known issue, music/sound can't be running through the physical speaker while using gps, otherwise the gps won't lock. Works fine with BT headphones and while using the headphones jack. Search around for the thread on here.
[EVO 4G General] IceCreaMan:
i dont have wardrive, but i use googlemaps w/gps and pandora frequently with no issues, even with google navigation.

stop trying to map peoples wireless networks and youll be fine.
[EVO 4G General] herbthehammer:
Lol. Ok. I did a search and went a few pages into the general section. The search didn't turn up anything with the words I tried. No problem.
[EVO 4G Accessories] blix1337:
I was wondering if an external bluetooth keyboard would work on the evo. Does android contain the necesary drivers to support a bluetooth keyboard? I was looking at this keyboard because of the decent price, does it look like it would work?

[EVO 4G Accessories] rekphiv:
Try searching. Or wait for CM6
[EVO 4G Accessories] joey3002:
cm6 will support the bt keyboard?
[EVO 4G Accessories] rathfon:
So far from what I've been reading HID devices - Wiimote, keyboards, etc will be supported in CM6
[EVO 4G Accessories] hydralisk:
OR... you can get the Freedom Pro Keyboard now which the EVO already supports.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmliphone:
I bought 2 3g slides a little over a month ago and my fiance's phone started acting up first... A couple days ago mine started the same thing...

Example: you will be in the middle of typing a text message and all of a sudden, it blanks out and goes back to the message screen. so u have to start all over again with your message. When it does that an "x"appears in front of the signal bars. It happens every so often, not everytime but everyday it does it and it never did it till now. Also, since this started, on both phones now, when your on the phone itll drop the call, same blank screen, and back to phone dial screen. Same "x" appears by the signal bars when it does this. ??

I had the iPhone 3g before this and had less dropped calls!

Also, today it decided to clear out all my contacts! Nice...

T-mobile tired a new SIM card on her phone, no change. Then we called them and they told us it may be a virus from a app so they walked us thru a factoy reset and it worked, but only lasted a day or so.. Same thing is happening all over again. on BOTH phones....

Anyone else have this problem!?

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks..
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turboyo:
Set the phone to 3g only so its stops dropping the signal its in wireless network settings
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmliphone:
k, im not 100% what im looking for.. I dont see 3g. sorry..

Network mode? (GSM/WCDMA auto)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenol:
Choose wcdma
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmliphone:
thanks, i put it on wcdma, (what is "wcdma"?)and have 3g all times for now. well see what happens the more i use it.

Thanks again!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenol:
Wcdma is the use of faster data transfer on the network instead of gsm which is slower by a long run.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmliphone:
Thank u.

Well changed it last night and it seemed to work alot better, but as of today, same thing.. I think its a software issue... Tmobile isnt much help tho.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenol:
Well I would call tmobile and have come up with a resolution for you.
[Desire Themes and Apps] gogol:
Finally, it has been released today (July 16, 2010).

A new feature of FolderOrganizer app starting version 2.4.

It was my idea: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6307695

SHOW that Android can display apps in a UNIQUE compelling, nice looking way! Not just GRID of icons!!

Fully skin-able too! I have never seen this on other platform, so you can show this to your iPhone friends :D

And I contacted the developer of the FolderOrganizer and he made it as part of his app :)

http://sites.google.com/site/folderorganizer/how-to/createskin

Note, I do not have any affiliation with him, not at all. I just helped him with ideas, testing and created some skins.

The new home widget is skin-able.

A skin is just an image (PNG file) for each widget size (small, medium, large).

Image sizes are:

small = 480x150

medium = 480x320

large = 480x500

For landscape mode:

small = 780x120

medium = 780x240

large = 780x360

You should name the landscape mode image with _land at the end.

For example,

Your skin image file name is "myskin_medium.png", then the landscape mode should be "myskin_medium_land.png".

Then an XML file (config.xml) to specify the skin properties.

See my examples in post #2 and #3.

Finally, put together in a folder, for example "My Skin".

Put this folder in the sd-card: \FolderOrganizer\Skins\My Skin

That's it!

I am sure there are a lot of talented graphics designer here in XDA which can create and share this kind of skin :D

Screenshot of the widgets:
[Desire Themes and Apps] gogol:
Here is an example of skin that I created.

To use the skin, copy the skin folder "Simple Dark" to the sd-card like this:

\FolderOrganizer\Skins\Simple Dark
[Desire Themes and Apps] gogol:
Another skin "Brushed Metal", good for dark wallpaper :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] lambrospower:
i love this....i'd like to see what skins we will have here
[Desire Themes and Apps] th3:
Nice idea. I prefer what AppsOrganizer/FolderOrganizer do far better though.

Unless... You can have tabs on one of those homescreen grids ?

-----------------------------------

- Sent via my HTC Desire -
[Desire Themes and Apps] gogol:
Well, this is a new feature of the FolderOrganizer that you knew.

This is NOT another application, if you are confused.

It is just an option which you could use to "dress" up your Android phone :)

All functionality of FolderOrganizer is supported with the widget.

Think this as another "size" of FolderOrganizer widget. Originally, it has only 1x1 widget size. Now it has small (1x4), medium (2x4) and large (3x4).
[Desire Themes and Apps] th3:
I see. Thanks for clarifying. A few more qs:

Will this feature be added to AppsOrganizer too, or just FolderOrganizer?

Same dev, very similar functionality between them too.

Can you add GMail widget to this widget? (you couldn't with previous versions)

Is there any option to save all your settings in the app?

-----------------------------------

- Sent via my HTC Desire -
[Desire Themes and Apps] gogol:
I have no idea if this feature will be put into the AppsOrganizer. You must ask the developer.

Adding widget into a wdiget? I dont think that can be done here.

Yes, you can save (EXPORT) your FolderOrganizer settings to sd-card.
[Desire Themes and Apps] MasDroid:
Very nice feature, looks neat.
[Desire Themes and Apps] kmetek:
is this free?
[Desire Themes and Apps] MasDroid:
Yep, free from Marketplace (obviously) :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] kmetek:
i mean there's lite version and full version, which is not freee :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] gogol:
FolderOrganizer full version is only 0.99 euro, which is about $1.39 USD.

I am not promoting this, but it is not expensive at all.
[Desire Themes and Apps] MasDroid:
Im using the free version atm, still allows you to achieve the same thing.

If you plan to use it a lot, may as well buy it i suppose ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] kmetek:
i can't pay for full one, cause i live in wrong country iguess....
[Desire Themes and Apps] MasDroid:
One thing i have noticed is that these FolderOrganiser widgets seem to hog the memory quite a bit...
[Desire Themes and Apps] cauli:
I don't suppose it lets you use small icons for the shortcuts within each group? I'd like to use half size icons myself.
[Desire Themes and Apps] gogol:
How do you check widget memory usage? Do I need root to do that?
[Desire Themes and Apps] cauli:
Astro file manager -> menu -> tools -> process manager is one means to view memory usage.
[Desire Themes and Apps] gogol:
Right, I was thinking there is another way to specifically view the "widget" memory usage.

Using ASTRO (and also Quick System Info), the FolderOrganizer memory usage is about 17 MB.

Compared to other widgets:

- Beautiful widget = 15 MB

- Pure Calendar widget = 14 MB

I don't think FolderOrganizer is memory hog, considering I am using 2 widgets with my "Brushed Metal" skin which of course has large background image size (because of I am using "metal pattern", and PNG is not as efficient as JPG on compression [PNG is lossless]) :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] gogol:
What do you mean with "half size icons"?

Oh btw, using FO widgets you can also create skin to put more apps like this:

Normal Sense home can only have 4 rows x 4 columns.

Even more rows without apps title:

And be able to change the apps title font size like this:

Of course, I know that using other launcher you can also be able to put more apps:)

Note that FO widget is just

an option to have different look and feel

(visual) for your Android theme :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] cauli:
Half the width & height, so for instance one could have four icons within the space usually taken by one, in a 2x2 arrangement. Aiui you can specify your own icon images & set things like margins, so I was hoping this would be possible simply by supplying smaller pngs than the defaults. Thanks for the other info btw :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] th3:
I tried the Lite version - it didn't allow removal of the Bookmarks/Contacts labels that I don't want under the "All Labels" widget, and it duplicated the "All Labels" shortcut within the "All Labels" widget, again. It fixed 2 issues but created 3 more.

-----------------------------------

- Sent via my HTC Desire -
[Desire Themes and Apps] gogol:
I don't know the lite version, but I could create own label and specify its members :)

Then I use that label in the widget.

That's all :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] gogol:
New skin by me: Windows Aurora v1.0 :)

I made this only for the LARGE widget (also LARGE Landscape mode).
[Desire Themes and Apps] th3:
If you choose the "Main Menu" widget shortcut, you can't remove the labels Applications, Bookmarks, Contacts and Main Menu from below it. I hope Fabio can offer a quick fix for this. This was my main use for the app.

-----------------------------------

- Sent via my HTC Desire -
[Desire Themes and Apps] celticone:
You need the full version to use custom icons due the label function. Time to upgrade for me :)

Any reason why we are unable to remove text (name) under an icon on Sense??
[Desire Themes and Apps] th3:
The dev has responded that this will be fixed in the next version. Awaiting :)

-----------------------------------

- Sent via my HTC Desire -
[Desire Themes and Apps] Snowtoad23:
Good idea, looks nice. Not sure how possible it would be, but it would be cool if the widget was not restricted to square/rectangle shapes. E.g. you could have

________

|*******|

|__*** __|

---|__|

--------__

-------|**|

-- ____|**|

- |_______|

(pro drawing skills)

And after testing, some other suggestions:

When inserting a widget, there should just be an option to just select which apps go in it and in what order , and request a title name for the widget box, instead of just being able to select a tag.. say if I don't already have all my apps organised with labels. And if other people are arrangement freaks like me then the position of the app icons within the widget are important too, it would be good if they could be re-arranged.

And not sure whether its possible, but be able to enter custom dimensions for the widget. (2x1, 4x3, 3x2, etc)

And somehow incorporate a system which automatically rescales and adjusts the dimensions etc of the skins for the widget so that different versions dont have to be made for every widget size AND screen resolution.

Keep up the good work!

I make a folder called like this, and i put the folder downloaded in the right place, but the program dont see this skins...

How can i fix this?

what about a full transparent background? anyone tried this option? tnx
[Desire Themes and Apps] Beppemi:
Thanks for the help, i will retry. :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] viswhiz:
Transparent Skin

So basically I stole gogol's "Simple Dark" skin :D and delete the background and add a gray tone bar (HTC-ish) for the widget title to quickly made myself a transparent skin. I thought with transparent background it "blends" more with HTC Sense. Also it worked nicely with gogol's toolbar options button.

Since I stole it I feel obliged to share, so enjoy. I have no idea how to screen capture my inc so sorry no screenshot.

There are only portrait oriented images since Sense does not do landscape.
